“Static Erratic is a selection of works made together this year, across various places and displaces. We found ourselves in search of a possible landscape, in a string of travel from Chile to California to New Mexico and back. The joy of these adventures was mixed with survival instincts and escape, as bodies within CDC guidelines for high-risk. Static Erratic searches for materiality in a world that slips away. We experiment with what staying in touch looks like when faraway from friends. Sets, props and filmed material create scenes for connection in a disrupted time, through social uprisings, electoral anxiety, and pandemic lockdowns.”
On December 9th Amelia Bande and Rachel Higgins will present a collective physicality made through improvisation, songs, and conversations across digital space.
Presented via Zoom.
